Process Design Solution

  1. Ore Preparation Stage
  • Primary screening through 300mm grizzly bars
  • Feed system with vibrating feeder for controlled material flow
  • Initial clay breakup through high-pressure spray nozzles
  1. Core Processing Flow
  • Dual log washers for thorough clay removal (primary and secondary washing)
  • Multi-deck vibrating screens with integrated washing
  • Precise size classification into three product fractions
  • Sluice box system for gold recovery from <4 mm material

 

  1. Final Product Handling
  • Automated conveyor system for classified gemstone products
  • Dedicated storage bins for each size fraction (4-10 mm, 10-20 mm, 20-80 mm)
  • Efficient tailings management system

Key Advantages

  • Custom-designed for high-clay feed material
  • Future-ready with 75% capacity expansion potential
  • Gravity-based water flow optimization
  • Minimal moving parts for reduced maintenance
  • Integrated gold recovery from the waste stream

This turnkey solution addresses all client requirements while providing operational flexibility and the capacity for future expansion. The plant design maximizes gemstone recovery while effectively managing challenging clay-bound feed material.

Customer Questions & Our Answers

  • Q1: Why do you recommend using log washers in this solution?
    A: Our log washers are specifically designed for gemstone-bearing clay with three key advantages:
  • Intensive Scrubbing: A special twin-shaft design with wear-resistant paddles delivers vigorous agitation.
  • Clay Disintegration: Effectively breaks up even million-year-old compacted clay deposits.
  • Gentle Processing: Ensures complete clay removal without damaging fragile gemstones.

Q2: What’s the purpose of the sluice box after screening?
A: The sluice box serves two critical functions:

  • Recovers fine gold particles present in the <4 mm material
  • Maximizes overall project economics by capturing all valuable minerals. This was specifically included per the client’s request to ensure no gold is wasted.

Q3: Why is a vibrating feeder essential in this setup?
A: The vibrating feeder provides three operational benefits:

  • Controlled Feed Rate: Maintains optimal processing speed (200TPH)
  • Equipment Protection: Prevents overloading of downstream machinery
  • Process Stability: Ensures consistent material flow to washing systems. It’s particularly crucial for clay-rich materials that tend to clump.

Q4: What’s the advantage of using two log washers in series?
A: Our dual-log-washer system implements a proven two-stage approach:

Primary Washer:

  • Breaks up compacted clay clusters
  • Initial soaking to soften stubborn deposits

Secondary Washer:

  • Precision cleaning of partially exposed gemstones
  • Final quality scrubbing for market-ready products. This configuration is 40% more effective than single-washer systems for tenacious clay.

Q5: Are your machines certified for international standards?
A: Yes, all equipment in this package includes:

  • CE certification (meeting European safety standards)
  • ISO 9001:2015 certification (quality management system)
  • Factory acceptance testing reports and certification documents will be provided with equipment delivery.

Q6: What are the costs if we need technical support on-site?
A: For an engineer dispatch to your mine site, the following costs apply:

1. Professional Fees: $150/day/engineer (minimum 2 engineers recommended)

2. Travel Costs:

  • Round-trip airfare (economy class)
  • Visa processing fees

3. On-Site Expenses:

  • Local transportation
  • Accommodation and meals
  • Potential layover costs. Typical installation requires 4-8 weeks, depending on site preparation.

Q7: What are your standard payment terms?
A: Our flexible payment structure ensures low-risk collaboration:

  • 40% Deposit: Required to initiate production
  • 30% Progress Payment: Due at halfway completion (with photo verification)
  • 30% Balance: Paid pre-shipment after final inspection. 

We accept T/T transfers and can discuss LC options for established clients.
